Met Gala Shrug: Claire Danes

There’s nothing objectionable here, no. And I might have liked where J Mendel was going with a white tuxedo dress because I do love the lapels. But maybe on someone else, someone less...shruggy. Maybe Christina Ricci who could have worn it with more theatricality and more interesting footwear. Claire Danes however just ...takes all the life out of it, right?

It could be the makeup. I wish they’d done more with the makeup. I wish they’d given her some colour. We are all washed out here save for a great clutch and a very handsome husband. But I feel like it might be more than just lipstick. I feel like this is about personality. What happened to Claire’s personality? When will she be allowed to take it back?
